Can Heels Help You Get Ahead? Four Reasons Why I Think They Can

By now you’ve probably heard that last week, a woman working as a contractor at PwC in London was sent home for refusing to wear heels, attire that was prescribed by the dress code of the temp agency for which she works. Without pause, I can say that it’s downright unreasonable for an employer to require women to wear heels.

That said, the story did make me explore the question, should women who want to advance in corporate jobs wear high heels? Is it better for a woman’s career to wear heels?  And almost sheepishly, I’m afraid that the answer I have to give - my personal opinion only! - is yes.
